1.2.2 deleted my custom presets

Post by andrewk89 »

Description of problem or question:
1.2.2 deleted my custom presets

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Upgraded from 1.2.0 to 1.2.2. My Custom presets migrated fine. Have encoded a few things in 1.2.2.

Got stuck in a Windows 10 "I'm going to reboot and nothing you can do to stop it", so I stopped the current encode that just started. Let Windows reboot. Launched HB. HB asked if I wanted to recover the items in my queue. I clicked Yes. The Custom Presets folder with my custom presets was missing.

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.2.2

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 November 2018

If your preset file gets corrupted or the system has an issue that prevents HandBrake reading the file, it'll recover by resetting the file.

It will attempt to archive the old file first. See C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\HandBrake and look for a presets.json.xxxx
You could try replacing preset.json with preset.json.xxxx and see if it loads it. (Might want to throw the contents up on any pastebin website so we can have a look at what happened to it).

Failing all that, if things went badly wrong and it wasn't recoverable, then your only option is to restore backups of the presets if you have them.
Otherwise, your outa luck.

I renamed the newest backup to presets.json. 1.2.2 complained that it was from an older version ... it will try to load the file anyway.

My old presets were there. encoded a video.

Exited HB. Launched again. My custom presets are missing.

here is presets.json. The customs are named "Andrew HEVC" and "Andrew HEVC 720"
